Why do we do it? We destroy ourselves, we tear ourselves down. We get a 99 on a test and we immediately look for the one that we got wrong. We completely disregard the 99 correct answers looking to feel inadequate or inferior seemingly. The man the myth, the legend Rabbi Dr. Abraham J Twersky zichronim l'vracha commented on July 16 2020, that excluding all major psychiatric issues, all problems lead back to low self esteem. Your Shalom Bayis, your Middos, your desires low self esteem. It's a trap. We think we are being righteous by saying I'm a pusheta yid. I am humble. No, that is low thinking.
